Schools' Staff
By JOHN ROSSON
Star Staff Writer
Supt. Carl F. Hansen says
the Nation owes Washington’s
school personnel “a debt of
gratitude which cannot be
matched anywhere.”
Not only have District schools
been integrated peacefully, the
superintendent said, but the
average student’s achievement
level has gone steadily up since
1955, a year after the Supreme
Court ruling on school integra
tion was handed down.
The superintendent compli
mented the school personnel
while speaking at a meeting
of the George Washington Uni
versity Faculty Women’s Club.
Without dedicated teachers
and administrators, the transi
tion (from a segregated to an
—By Peter Laing
integrated school system here)
“could not have been accom
plished at all,” he said.
Dr. Hansen told the women
that improvement in class
achievements shows "education
is not a question of race but
a question of opportunity."
Almost 80 per cent of the Dis
trict public school enrollment
this year is Negro compared to
64 per cent in 1955.
But there is still much to
do, he added. He said school
administrators here are now
studying the problem of stu
dents classed as “functional
illiterates”—those who can do
satisfactory work in some sub
jects at a high grade level but
do not read well enough to
make proper use of other
texts.
There is a “twilight zone"
there of incomprehension which
must be overcome while the
student is improving his read
ing, he explained.

Japan Planning
To Launch 'Moon'
From U. S. by '63
TOKYO. Jan. 14 <AP).—
Japan plans to inaugurate a
space program this year with
the aim of building and operat
ing an earth-circling satellite
by 1963, officials of the govern
ment’s science and technology
agency reported today.
The football-sized satellite
would be sent into orbit with
American rockets from a
launching. pad in the United
States.
The officials said the decision
to push construction of a Jap
anese satellite was the out
come of an offer made by the
United States last January to
provide four-stage Scout rock
ets and a launching site in
Virginia to nations wanting to
launch their own satellites but
lacking the means.
The agency has asked for an
allocation of $195,000 in the
1961 national budget.
a teaching method is "ques
tionable.”
"Teaching by television poses
insurmountable problems,
among them the fact that it
allows no flexibility," he said.
He added, however, that in
struction by television may
prove beneficial as a supple
ment to classroom teaching.

SENATOR McGEE DISCOVERS
UNLISTED PHONE REALLY IS
Senator McGee, Democrat of Wyoming, discovered
yesterday he really has an unlisted telephone number
at his home. And because of it. he had to call his neigh
bors to finally get in touch with Mrs. McGee.
It seems that the Senator, who was becoming in
creasingly annoyed by crackpot callers on his old phone
number, requested an unlisted one. It was installed yes
terday just a couple of hours before he called his home
on his old number to speak to his wife.
The operator told him the number was disconnected.
He called the supervisor, who said Senator McGee has
an unlisted number which cannot be revealed. His ex
planation that he was the Senator seeking his own num
ber got him nowhere.
Finally, the .Senator’s secretary called one of his
Bethesda neighbors and got Mrs. McGee to call her
husband. She ran into trouble with a busy Capitol Hill
switchboard and it took—all told—about five hours from
Senator McGee’s first call to the final good-by.
This morning Senator McGee could not be reached
for comment.
Recreation Board Votes
Apology to Mrs. Haynes
The District Recreation
Board is sending a formal apol
ogy to a Negro member of the
Board of Education whose
scheduled appearance at an all
white recreation center this
week was canceled.
The board decided on the
action yesterday after Milo F.
Christiansen, Recreation De
partment director, reported on
the incident and called for a
public apology for Mrs, Eu
phremia L. Haynes.
Mrs. Jlaynes, active in Dis
trict education since 1909 and
a Board of Education member
since last April, was to speak
on the psychological fears of
3 and 4 year old children at
Thursday evening's meeting of
the parents’ club of Hillcrest
Recreation Center. Thirty-sec
ond and Denver streets S.E.
Her invitation, extended last
October, was withdrawn Thurs
day by two Recreation Depart
ment employes who said they
had been told that several par
ents would walk out of the
meeting if Mrs. Haynes ap
peared.
In order to spare Mrs. Haynes
possible embarrassment, Mr.
Christiansen reported, the em
ployes told her the meeting had
been canceled, although it was
held as scheduled.
The employes are Mrs. Reda
Buchanan, a pre-school leader
at Hillcrest, and Mrs. Lena
Fitzpatrick, the center's rec
reation director.
he won a fellowship to the
American School in Fountaine
bleau, studying in Paris with
Andre L'Hote and Moise Kis
ling.
One-Man Shows
The artist had his first one
man show in New York in 1927.
Since then he has had 10 one
man shows and has won sev
eral important prizes.
Mr. Gatch was one of the
first artists to break away from
■ the traditional schools of paint-
: ing. He used a palette knife a |
great deal and later built paint- j
ings by pasting fine newsprint
on wood.
The artist’s winning work
“The Beech,” is a collage of
' tinted tan and gray canvas
strips pasted to a flat surfaced
The William A. Clark Awards
were established in 1921 under
a $lOO,OOO endowment by the
late Senator Clark of Montana.!
■ Senator Clark's widow gdded to I
the fund in 1927. The surplus
I from the fund may be used
' to the discretion of the trustees
for the purchase of works by
American artists.
The Corcoran's director. Mr.
Williams, says of this year’s
biennial that the exhibition
“is an earnest attempt to seek
out paintings which carried
within themselves an aura of
conviction as well as a mastery
of means.”
> The exhibition, opening to
day, will continue until Febru
ary 26.
As a result of the action,
two officers of the parents’
club resigned Mrs. Cynthia
Stoertz, president, and Mrs.
Barbara Clark, program chair
man. They also will receive let
ters of apology, Mr. Christian
sen said.
"They (Mrs. Buchanan and
Mrs. Fitzpatrick), are two of
our best employes,” Mr. Chris
tiansen told the Recreation
Board, “but they did the wrong
thing.”
“We haven't had anything
like this happen in years.” the
director added. "It was regret
able. embarrassing and unfor
tunate."
He said the two department
employes apologized personally
to Mrs. Haynes yesterday for
what they now consider a mis
take in judgment. All depart
ment employes will be instruct
ed to contact his office for ad
vice if such a situation occurs
again, he added.
Mrs. Stoertz said yesterday
that the majority of the club
members did not object to hav
ing a Negro speaker.
She said that at Thursday’s
meeting the club voted to pro
ceed with the program for the
remainder of the year, regard
less of the race of the speaker
engaged by Mrs. Clark.
The parents’ club is made up
mostly of mothers whose chil
dren attend the Department of
Recreation's pre-schools.

Flyer to Face
Marine Board
QUANTICO. Va.. Jan. 14
<AP).—A bemedaled Marine
Corps flyer who spent nine days
in Baltimore waterfront hotels
while rescuers searched for his
body near his crashed airplane
will face a Marine board of in
quiry.
The board was ordered con
vened yesterday to question
Capt. Ernest C. Brace, W,
holder of the Distinguished Fly
ing Cross, about the January 3
crash near Cambridge, Md.,
and his subsequent disappear
ance.
Capt. Brace, unshaven and
wearing civilian clothes,
walked into the Baltimore FBI
office at 2:30 a.m. yesterday.
James J. Kelly, special agent
in charge of the Baltimore FBI
office, said Capt. Brace came
into the office after telephon
ing to tell agents of his inten
tions. He said Capt. Brace
stayed in hotels on the Balti
more waterfront, and quoted
the flyer as saying he had less
than $lOO on his person when
he parachuted from the plane.
Capt. Brace's T-28 trainer
crashed into a muddy cornfield
on the north bank of the
Choptank River, across from
the Eastern Shore town of
Cambridge. He told the FBI
the plane was not functioning
properly when he bailed out.
Only a parachute and a
flight jacket were found dur
ing the search until Thursday,
when searchers found a flight
suit stuffed into a bush along
the river. The FBI was then
called into the case.
Capt. Brace was returned to
the Quantico Marine Station
yesterday, where he had a re
union with his wife. Patricia,
who lives at Dumfries, Va.
They have three small sons.
Capt. Brace's parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Cary E. Brace live in Ray,
Ariz.
The Marine received the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross, the
Air Medal with three stars and
a Navy unit citation for his
Korean service. He was at
tending a nine-month course
for career officers at Quantico.
At the time of the crash he
was piloting the plane on a
routine mission to maintain
his flying proficiency.
G. O. P. in House
Defers Stand on
Bigger Rules Unit
By the Associated Press
House Republican leaders
took no position yesterday on a
Democratic-backed plan to in
crease the Rules Committee
membership from 12 to 15.
The party Policy Commit
tee discussed the proposal, de
signed to break coalition con
trol of the rules group, but de
ferred taking an official stand.
The plan was advanced by
House Speaker Rayburn as the
least painful way of breaking
the Rules Committee bottle
neck.
There were indications that
many Republicans favor the
plan, which would add one Re
publican and two Democrats
to the Rules Committee and
leave the existing ratio un
changed at 2-1 in favor of the
Democrats.
Representative Martin of
Massachusetts, former G. O. P.
floor leader, predicted that
about half the Republicans
would vote for the rule change.
Mr. Martin is not a member of
the policy group.
